The topic of this issue is grain exports from Russia. Firstly, Miranda Svanidze, Linde Götz and Florian Schierhorn posit that the mobilization of grain export potential in Russian grain producing regions requires an improvement in the functioning of the Russian grain market. Secondly, Maximilian Heigermoser and Linde Götz state that since the turn of the millennium, Russia has ascended to become the world’s largest wheat exporter. The authors conclude that it remains to be seen to what extent the current trend towards corporate concentration in the export sector will lead to the exercise of market power and price distortions in the future.
